Need Power Trim, but don't know what to get

[Btpeck23]

Ok, I have a 1988 Bayliner w/ an 85Hp Force outboard motor. I want to add power trim to this unit and would like to know what some of my best options would be.<br /><br />Buy a used or new unit specific for this motor? Where would i find this?<br /><br />What about the OMC PT-130? Is this good unit or would it work well for this motor?<br /><br />Any other options that would work? The Cheaper the better (have to save some of my tax refund).

New Force units are not available, cost $800+ when they were.<br /><br />CMC unit is good, should work.<br /> http://www.iboats.com/mall/index.cgi?prod_id=13581&current_category=cmc trim&cart_id=037893579 <br /><br />Panther unit is another option.<br /><br /> http://www.iboats.com/mall/index.cgi?prod_id=21955&current_category=panther trim&cart_id=037893579 <br /><br />Their website:<br /> http://www.panthermarineproducts.com/panther/lifts.html

What are you trying to accomplish? Get the motor up out of the water when not in use? Or help the boat plane quicker?

It's mostly just for getting the motor up in shallow water. some lakes have shallow ramps and getting thru shallow channels (i also like getting up to shore for pan fishing) I did mount a trolling motor up front but its real conviniance to have the power trim on the main motor.
